Once again as spring is upon us, I decided to look into a more efficient pump. I have tried various settings which yield some savings. I replaced one of the biggest energy hogs (an old AC unit) at the end of summer. I have had my eye on a Pentair variable pump for the last two years but I wanted to throw out here if anyone has come across a better pump? I wish there was a solar pump out there which would have a decent ROI.
My plumbing has been setup to run two pumps (one for water feature and one for filtration) and a third pump for the cleaner. I would move the current pump to the water features since its only used when we have guests. I do have my solar panels on two roof lines (Patio and Main Roof) so I need a pump to push water up as well as out. The solar panels get a lot of use, for I use them at night during the dog days of summer to cool the pool.
Any suggestions? (See my signature for my specs)
